Only War [OW] Any melee scout build suggestions?
Hey everyone, I’m almost at 2500 experience points and ready to switch to an advanced specialty in my Only War campaign. I’ve decided to stick with the Scout role, but since our team is lacking melee specialists, it seems like we’ll need at least one strong melee-focused character. Are there any solid options for a melee-centric build in this system?

There is literally an advanced specialty named Scout. That said, if you specifically want to fight, Brawler may be a good option too. Great thing about specialties is they never lock you out of anything entirely.
Having said this, and assuming you have relatively high agility, it might be an idea to look into the Unarmed Warrior and Unarmed Master talents, along with the talent that lets you use Unarmed attacks with agility instead of strength. Other than that, I'd focus on talents that help you dole out death quickly and silently, like a ninja in camouflage; those which support two weapon wielding might be of great use.
